The word is correlation, not causation.
There could also be a correlation between the number of votes for a republican presidentai candidate and the severity of economic recession in the following two years. > >For example, I have darker skin which is correlated with a lower risk >of melanoma.

THe point raised was that blacks were, on the average, less intellient that whites. No data to back up such a racist statement. Just rhetoric and piss poor rhetoric at that. Show me 10 studies from reputable peer reviewed journals published in the last 10 years that support your statements about race and intelligence. If there is such a relationship then you should have no problem finding such. > >BTW, As for Dr. Watson, based on comments here and what I've read >since I would withdraw my comment we give him the benefit of the >doubt. Any scientist talking outside his field, no matter how emminant in his field, is still a layman and is therefore completely unqualifed to comment. He has neither the training nor the experience in research on intelligence. Therefore he does not know what he's talking about when he discusses racial differences in intelligence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245556 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
